Good Fences Make Good Neighbors

“Top o’ the morning to you, neighbor-ino! Golly, it sure is a lovely day! Perfect weather, big blue sky, plenty of green grass under my feet. Yep, nothing could make this day better — except maybe if you had some wire cutters, maybe a hacksaw…”

    What is that other sheep doing under the one that is stuck? Enquiring minds want to know ….

      Me, too! And I’m glad that the Molly Bolt effect isn’t complete – the ears are still not through the fence.

      And the response to “Top o’ the mornin’ “? “And the rest o’ the day to yoursel’ “

        This inquiring mind wants to know:
        ‘splain to me the Molly Bolt effect.
        I am very out if it, as we used to say.

        Oh, waitaminnit – the fastener!
        I figured you were referring to
        some obscure Irish folk song,
        one that I missed while runnng
        through the Fields of Athenry,
        Where the Wind Shakes the Corn.
        Molly Bolt is a plump, rosy barmaid,
        one who plunks down a jug of ale
        for the weary pilgrim. And I used
        to work in a hardware store, too.
        Oh, the shame! My excuse, the capitals
        threw me off.

          Ha!!!! This is so funny. Forevermore, Molly Bolt will be a plump, rosy barmaid.

      My guess? Eating the greener grass on the other side…

      A lamb trying to nurse?

    This is a job for *deep breath* THE SHEEP EXTRACTOR

    and then some chicken wire to keep this from happening literally constantly.

      Are my eyes deceiving me? Are you the same BFB who made really funny comments on Cute? Nice to see you here 🙂

    • Smartypants November 30, 2016 / 1:46 am

      Yaay! So glad to see you made it here, Blue Footed Booby.

      • Blue Footed Booby November 30, 2016 / 8:13 am

        *bashful shuffle* It’s nice to be appreciated.

        Someone recognized me on Zooborns and invited me over. It was like coming home!

          Welcome, I recognize your user name, too! I’m always happy when ex-CO readers discover this place. 🙂

    I’ve heard of and have tried WD(og)-40 on the whining beagle in my family, but never for a lamb
    (btw: stuff doesn’t work .. he still “squeaks” when I open the fridge)

    • Emsthemonster November 29, 2016 / 4:09 pm

      WD-40 on a beagle 🙂
      My beloved cat that I lost this year and still miss, somehow skipped the cat school when meowing was taught. He was roaring instead and it really looked like he was yelling at us even if the cat was perfectly calm 🙂
      Once an aunt of mine visited us and she told us to do something with him, as this behaviour is not nice, but rather uncatly 🙂 I was wondering what we could do: send him to singing lessons? Unfortunately WD-40 did not come to my mind 🙂

        Oh – so sorry to hear of your loss of your kitty. 🙁 I love that he “roared” instead of a meow. I think my Swee’Pea must have played hooky with your kitty because he He opens his mouth wide and then forces a “ghhhhA! out. He is very earnest in his attempts to communicate but it is still pretty funny.

        • Emsthemonster November 30, 2016 / 8:14 am

          Thank you, Tara. Hm, another kitty to the non-meow club 🙂 Can your Swee’Pea purr btw? Our Marci always started in a barely audible way and then louder and louder…after a minute he sounded like he would explode within seconds 🙂
